Made up for Keane thus season. Had to take a fair bit of flack for last season's performances, but has come back stronger. Been thinking though, last season he was often stuck in no man's land, due to having his own position to cover, helping out Cuco on the left and having to try and mop up after Williams pace was exposed. This year, with better defenders around him, he's starting to look like what we thought we'd originally bought.
{Ed025's Note - very much so kingo..

Not only Keane but all the backs are now settled in, even Pickford has turned it round it says a lot when as good as what they are we've got Baines and Jags on the bench it's just a shame we've got no one this weekend.

Who do we pick next match that is the quandry. Keane does not deserve it but I would like to see Zouma and Mina or how about a three man defence of Keane Mina and Zouma. Glad I am not the coach/ manager.

billscrocodiletears, I have been asking that very same question. Oh what a dilema. isn't it just awful that we now have this problem of who to pick because all the others are playing so well. rather than last season when I seriously considered getting my one legged Gran a crutch to see if she was better than some of our squad!

That’s why managers get big bucks. Tough decision to make.

Totally agree with you, kingo. It must have been hard for him last season knowing that Williams was a liability, Martina was a poor rb and even worse on the left, as well as having a premier league novice in Kenny along side him. The lack of confidence throughout the team wouldn't have helped, nor the dour brand of football that the then manager had us playing.
He deserves his call up for the national side and I'd keep the same two cb's from the last game. Nothing against Zouma, he's been playing well, but the other two are our own players and they need game time together to gel. As a lot of you say, it's a good problem to have.

I think keeping a clean sheet against Chelsea means you keep same defence. Think if you perform then you keep your place.
On that note - Lookman should come in for Bernard - players should realise the heat is on and a lot of pressure to keep the shirt.
If Sig injured for Cardiff? Richarlison and Tosin - I would like to see a bit of Dowell also.
